Plymouth Philharmonic Choir conducted by Christopher Fletcher
Claudio Monteverdi’s Vespers has been described as a towering masterpiece. It is intimate and grand, prayerful and dramatic, exalted and sensual - a dizzying array of textures and sonorities in brilliant instrumental writing, opulent choruses, and moving solo arias and duets.
In a truly impressive lineup PPC will be joined by no less than seven professional soloists; sopranos Cecilia Osmond and Esther Brazil, male alto Simon Ponsford, tenors Ben Thapa and Robert Anthony Gardiner, and basses James Birchall and Richard Bannan.
When briefing the choir, Christopher Fletcher said that Vespers showcases all of Monteverdi’s talents and provides a huge variety of his very best writing for both singers and instruments with skillful intermingling of the two.
